What is the meaning of "smurf".?

This was a post I found AND IT WAS POSTED 4 years ago.

As this year is the 50th Anniversary of the Smurfs I thought I'd share it with you.

The Smurfs (Les Schtroumpfs in French) are a fictional group of small sky blue creatures who live somewhere in the forests of Europe. The Belgian cartoonist Peyo introduced smurfs to the world, but English-speakers perhaps know them best through the animated television series from Hanna-Barbera Productions, The Smurfs.
